We have has performed the first measurement of the coherent ψ(2S) photo-production cross section in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. This charmonium excited state is reconstructed via the ψ(2S) →l+l− and ψ(2S) → J/ψπ+π− decays, where the J/ψ decays into two leptons. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 22 μb−1. The cross section for coherent ψ(2S) production in the rapidity interval −0.9<y<0.9 is dσcohψ(2S)/dy=0.83±0.19(stat+syst) mb. The ψ(2S) to J/ψ coherent cross section ratio is 0.34+0.08−0.07(stat+syst). The obtained results are compared to predictions from theoretical models.
Coordination of substitutionally inert [Ru(bpy)2]2+ fragments (bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine) to the a-iminoketone chelate ligands pyrazine-2-dimethylcarboxamide (4) and 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (5) yields the complexes [(N,O-4)Ru(bpy)2]2⊕, [(O,O′-5⊖)Ru(bpy)2]⊕ and {(N,O; N′,O′-5)[Ru(bpy)2]2}4⊕ which exhibit a rich electrochemistry. The distinctly different electronic structures of the complexes are evident from the ESR behaviour of paramagnetic intermediates: N.O-coordinated complexes have the unpaired electron residing in the ligand n system upon reduction, albeit with g<2 for the binuclear complex of 5. The paramagnetic O,O′-coordinated mononuclear complex with 5 has its redox potentials shifted positively relative to that of the binuclear system. These results are particularly noteworthy because 4 and 5 can be regarded as model compounds for the flavin and methoxatin dehydrogenase cofactors.
